You mentioned rule 187.4.c. earlier and it says "open state", I don't remember that in the old rules. What gives?
Control cannot be lost while items are on the chain per rule 187.4.c. This enables spells and abilities that kill or banish units then play others to the same battlefield. Examples include Cruel Patron killing a Recruit to pay costs, Baited Hook killing units before playing new ones, and Arcane Shift banishing and replaying units.
